Corset and Dress

The corset is almost finished, all that is left to do is attach the straps than I am done.
So I have started the mock-up/petticoat(don't like to waste fabric) and it is looking pretty good. I don't really have a pattern to follow for this and so I am using reference photos as a starting point.

As you can see there are quite a few great photos to choose from :)


Below is what I have going so far...


And here is my dress :D
This is mostly pinned together and there is only one sleeve so far... I am hoping this will be done by Thursday night so I can make the Spencer, bonnet, and shoes(and if I have time a reticule) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...

Here is to hoping this works out.

Quilting...

Here is a look at what I have been doing these past couple days

Here is the outer shell of my corset.

Instead of using boning, I decided to "quilt" my corset.

Halfway through quilting the front

Almost done quilting :)

With Halloween just around the corner, and tons of sewing left to do.
I leave you with a short Good bye :)
I hope Everyone has a Great day.
